    Doctors and Infertility: the lost conversation

    July 5, 2018 /

    To those who are dealing with infertility, you don't have to give birth to be a parent. You still have options. If you have a desire to be a mom or a dad, don't let cancer win.

    Healthy Boundaries, Healthy Soul

    July 3, 2018 /

    I became a walking skeleton after stress literally ate me alive last year as a Biola University student. My already-thin body dropped about 35 pounds within nine months and went from three meals a day to one––a cup of soup and a banana or a protein bar and a smoothie.

    Drifting Perfection

    June 26, 2018 /

    This week has been filled with tears, laughter and exhaustion. It's been 4 years to the month that my late husband, Shane, and I took our children to Colorado on a ski trip. For years I wanted to go again, but the fears of traveling alone after my husband died, kept me from ever embarking on this adventure.

    God’s Way or Your Way?

    June 19, 2018 /

    God’s Way or Your Way? [This is a guest story by contributor Agnes Amos-Coleman. If you missed her last post, it’s right here: The What Ifs. This post is regarding following God’s way rather than our own…such a good reminder!] I don’t know about you, in the past, I have prayed for situations in my life to change and in the process, I attempted to manipulate God for answers. In this situation, God did answer my prayer but it wasn’t His direct will for my life but His permissive will.

    Glad You’re Here (I Guess)

    June 14, 2018 /

    Sweet sisters, I’m sure it’s obvious that my routine rigidity is borne from the lack of control I felt as a child.  It haunts me to this day, and I continually struggle with trying to out-equip the Lord.  It’s not that I don’t trust the Lord – I do!
